There are occasions when you want to delete and destroy everything
on your drive as you may not want anyone to view what data was present
or you may want to start with a fresh drive. One of readers Josh, was struggling with a problem that he was unable to format the drive and reinstall a new OS, due to some bad files present in the disk.
Formatting
a drive and reinstalling the OS is considered to be the final solution
to all the system software problems but what if you are unable to do so?
Well this can happen to you too. Thus if you wish to completely erase
the hard drive and are unable to do so then this tool called DBAN (Darik’s Boot and Nuke) would help you.

DBAN
deletes the data safely from all the drives it can detect including the
bad files that poses obstruction while formatting the system which
makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction.
To
be able to use this utility what you need to do is download the setup
file from the link below, burn it on the blank disk without unzipping
the file and boot from it after making changes in the boot order in the
BIOS.
While using the utility can be easy and self explanatory but in case you are finding it hard to use, make use of the tutorial here.
